Five skeletons found under Wolf’s Lair home of Hermann Göring in Poland

Amateur archaeologists have unearthed five human skeletons missing their hands and feet under the former home of the Nazi war criminal Hermann Göring at Hitler’s Wolf’s Lair military headquarters in present-day Poland.

The remains, believed to be that of a family, were discovered as part of a dig at the site near the north-eastern town of Kętrzyn, where Nazi leaders spent large stretches of the second world war.

Mystery surrounds the chilling find, first reported by Der Spiegel, including the identity of the victims, the circumstances of their burial, and whether the Reichsmarschall knew the bones were there while he lived in the house.

Meat was scarce and the man needed to eat.

Interesting. I thought he was an Air Force guy. Nothing to do with the final solution. Educate us please.

I realize the humor of your post, but the fact is the top Nazis lacked for nothing up until the moments of their arrests/suicides/escapes.

A big part of being a top Nazi was getting unbelievably rich. Hitler copyrighted his image, so every ‘Hitler’ stamp sold resulted in royalty payments to him. He was one of the richest men in the world when he blew his brains out 79 years ago today.

It was he who issued orders to Heydrich to prepare a comprehensive plan to finally deal with the Jewish Problem. These orders (tacitly approved by Hitler and his lessers) resulted in the Wannsee Conference where attendees discussed and mapped out “The Final Solution.”

From the judgement at Nuremberg:

“There is nothing to be said in mitigation. For Göring was often, indeed almost always, the moving force, second only to his leader. He was the leading war aggressor, both as political and as military leader; he was the director of the slave labour programme and the creator of the oppressive programme against the Jews and other races, at home and abroad. All of these crimes he has frankly admitted. On some specific cases there may be conflict of testimony, but in terms of the broad outline, his own admissions are more than sufficiently wide to be conclusive of his guilt. His guilt is unique in its enormity. The record discloses no excuses for this man.”

Too bad the Nuremberg International Military Tribunal could only hang him once.

The batsh*t left pulled it off in Canada’s parliament.

A Biden parody ala the Hitler ones is long over due.

But I digress....

No, they didn't hang Goering. They couldn't. He was already dead. By suicide.

Missing hands and feet? Weird. They probably did that to hinder identification.

I've often wondered if, when Göring walked into a Nazi leader's meeting, some one shouted “Big Herm! The Herman-ator!”

Small bones can disintegrate. There was also no clear evidence of amputation li kb e cut marks on the bones.

They really need to date the bones. I’d like to know how old the house was and who previous occupants were.

My grandfather had an old band-aid can which he used for his fishing tackle. On it was stamps from all around the world
But a closer look would show a stamp from Germany with a particular looking man with a Charlie Chaplin like mustache.
I think it’s still in my mom’s junk drawer.
